IT Project Manager

ZipStaff is seeking a seasoned, technically fluent Senior IT Project Manager for a high-stakes pricing modernization at a major healthcare distribution and life-sciences organization. You will operate as the traffic controller across ~10 technical teams and external vendors-not as a developer and not as the vendor SOW owner. You must understand API migrations, JDE decoupling, and GCP well enough to call out risk, keep dual-run testing on schedule, and hit Thanksgiving/Christmas freeze windows. What You’ll Do:

• Drive a ~12-week dual-run: legacy JDE pricing vs. Pricing 2.0 on GCP; own defect triage and daily replication-pipeline operations.
• Manage the Pricing Engine Enabler across ~10 teams (MuleSoft * Spring Boot APIs; JDE on-prem / JDE cloud / new APIs).
• Hold vendor transition resources to daily deliverables and scope without owning their SOW.
• Run PMO governance: Smartsheet schedules, Jira/Confluence execution, RAID, dependency maps, executive rollups; blend waterfall dates with SAFe ARTs.
• Facilitate working sessions that remove blockers; protect critical-path milestones through holiday cutover freezes.

• 8+ years IT project management on complex, enterprise-scale programs.
• Proven lead of API migration or cloud/data integration (MuleSoft/Spring Boot, GCP, or equivalent)-you coordinated delivery, you did not write the code.
• Hands-on Smartsheet and Jira/Confluence today (learning on the job is not acceptable).
• Matrix management of multiple development teams plus external vendors (Big 4 / KPMG-style) without direct-line authority.
• Enough technical fluency to discuss API switches, ERP decoupling, replication, and cloud cutover risk with integration leads.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future., * BA/BSA background before PM.
• SAFe, ARTs, PI planning; hybrid waterfall + Agile cutovers.
• JDE or other ERP module decoupling.
• Commercial pricing, finance transformation, or e-commerce.
• PMP, CSM, or SAFe Agilist.
• GCP, Spring Boot, MuleSoft, GoldenGate, JDE, Salesforce.
